Sena files code violation complaint against Pawar

PMC commissioner Mahesh Pathak said he has received the complaint and processed it further. “We will look into the matter and send report to the Election Commission,” he said.

When asked about the pending budget proposal of civic education board in the general body,Pathak said the general body cannot take any policy decision during the election code.

“I have taken legal opinion on the issue and as per the provisions,the budget approved by standing committee would be considered as the final budget of education board in the situation when the general body cant take decision,” he said.

The municipal commissioner said the civic body will get its budget for four months as per the powers vested with the civic chief during civic polls.

“The budget will be prepared for four months by the municipal commissioner. It will be further extened to one year by the new general body,” Pathak said.

Meanwhile,the civic administration has started removing the banners and flexes by political aspirants and removed 5,221 banners on Wednesday. We have also got the custody of 20 cars that were allotted to office-bearers of PMC.
